Quote:I'd say the bigger exception is finding a steal in the later rounds of the draft. Look at the draft history in the NFL, yeah there are a lot of good players all over, but the truly game-changing talents are almost always taken in the top 5-10. 

JJ Watt, Chandler Jones, Oliver Vernon, Justin Houston, Darrelle Revis, Aqib Talib, JPP, Wilkerson, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Aaron Donald, Clay Matthews, Harrison Smith, Reshad Jones, Jurrell Casey, LaVonte David, Thomas Davis, Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, Sen'Derrick Marks, etc. etc. etc. say hello.

 

Seriously man, if we had no QB I'd hear you, the top 5 is where you want to be in that case, but impact defensive players can be found everywhere...just a couple years back we were in prime position to get a JJ Watt or Ryan Kerrigan and we traded up for Blaine Gabbert 10th overall. 

 

Edit: BTW. I didn't even think about offensive players, these are just big time defensive impact players that come to mind...and there's a ton more.
